Education is a key com= ponent of any community but especially so of a geographically dispersed, m= ral community. The residents of Brief Overview of Concern to be Addressed to= the Council: Westmeath has formed a committee to help en= sure that we have a voice to provide feedback to the School Board to let th= em know that we do not support this proposal. It is a significant decision= that needs more than 45 days of public deliberation and the repercussions = of a closure go well beyond a school board budget and longer bus rides. A = rural school encourages families to live in our community, it keeps farming= families in their communities, it keeps our aging population young and act= ive, it contributes to 34 the lifeblood ofWhitewater Township. We would like== the school board to receive input from not only the committee and resident= s of our community but from the key leaders within our business community, = the Township, the County, and our MPP. Rural communities are important par= ts of our county and province and need to be to invested in, not further rc= duced. We would like to propose that t= he Whitewater Council: - do not support the RCDSB proposal to close WPS Specific Ac= tion request expected from Council: - support our committee by providing a Councillor to help advise and assist= in other presentations to community groups and organizations - they work with the RCDSB, Renfrew County, and, if possible, the Ministry = of Education to explore other options that include retaining WPS as a integ= ral part ofWestmeath and Whitewater Township Submitted On: 2016-03-0716:25:59 <= /tr> IP Address: 209= .91.185.116 2 35 1270 Pembroke Street West, Pembroke ON K8A 4G4 t. 613.735.0151 | f. 613.735.6315 | www.rcdsb.on.ca www.facebook.com/RCDSB | Twitter: @RCDSB March 1, 2016 Christine FitzSimons CAO / Clerk Township of Whitewater Region 44 Main Street Cobden, Ontario K0J 1K0 PO Box 40 Dear Ms. FitzSimons, On February 23, 2016, Trustees with the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) approved a motion to move forward with a Modified Accommodation Review of Westmeath Public School. A Modified Pupil Accommodation Review is a community consultation process required by the Ministry of Education where a school facing changing demographics and enrolment is required to review its programming and facility condition. It is governed by prescribed Ministry timelines and follow a Board approved policy and process. As part of our Long Term Accommodation Plan process, we regularly record the current state of our elementary and secondary school sites by forecasting and plotting growth trends, reviewing the school’s structure and programs and examining historic and projected enrolment as well as facility utilization rates. As a result of this work, Westmeath Public School has been identified as a school with low enrolment and low facility utilization rates (enrolment and facility utilization information can be found in the attached report). I want to assure you that a decision has not yet been made regarding the future of Westmeath Public School. A community consultation process is scheduled for April 14 and parents and community members - including the Township - are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed accommodation option contained in the Initial Staff Report. A time and location will be provided to you in the coming weeks. Feedback captured during this session will be included in a Final Staff Report that will be made public when it is presented to the Board of Trustees on April 29. Subsequent to that, 1270 Pembroke Street West, Pembroke, ON K8A 4G4 ~ T: (613) 735-0151 ~ F: (613) 735-6315 www.rcdsb.on.ca 36 1270 Pembroke Street West, Pembroke ON K8A 4G4 t. 613.735.0151 | f. 613.735.6315 | www.rcdsb.on.ca www.facebook.com/RCDSB | Twitter: @RCDSB interested groups and individuals will have an opportunity to present before a special board meeting on May 16. A final decision on the future of Westmeath Public School will be made by the Board of Trustees on May 31. If a decision is made to proceed with a consolidation, students will be moved into Beachburg Public School in time for the 2016 school year. At any point in this process, you will find information on our website (www.rcdsb.ca). You may also follow for updates at @RCDSB and our Facebook page or send an email to [email protected]. I want to reinforce that feedback is a key component of the Modified Pupil Accommodation Review process. The Board encourages all parents and community members to learn about the process, stay informed, ask questions and provide feedback. We hope that you may provide some valuable insights. If there are questions or additional information required please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Roger Clarke Director of Education Encl.

The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change also receive these reports each year. Steven Hodson, Environmental Services Manager 85 Department: Environmental Services Meeting Date: March 23rd, 2016 Agenda Item: Yellow Bag Alternative Yellow Bag Alternative – Further Analysis March 2, 2016 Council in Committee: Be it resolved that the Environmental Services Department of the Township of Whitewater Region recommends to Council to consider the notion of substituting the current curbside yellow bag purchase program to a two (2) bag per week limit with collection cost recovery through tax levy. RECOMMENDATION: As requested from the March 2nd, 2016 Environmental Services Committee Meeting, the Department offers this follow-up to the suggested alternative to the yellow bag program for curbside waste collection for consideration. Acknowledging all of the comments / concerns that have been brought forth, the Environmental Services Department recommends to Council, at this time, to put this issue aside until further detailed discussion and consideration can take place. BACKGROUND: Following the March 2nd, 2016 Environmental Services Committee Meeting, the Department was tasked with analyzing and suggesting a levy of sorts to cover lost revenue of yellow bag sales if an alternative to the yellow bag program was initiated. Also, to determine a proposed transition time for such an alternative to be brought into effect. ANALYSIS: If substituting the yellow bag purchase program to an alternative such as a residential two (2) bag limit per week (any colour bag purchased at a retailer of choice) with the current weight restriction (20 kg, or 44 lbs per bag) implied, the Corporation would lose the revenue generated from the sale of the yellow bags ($130,000 for 2015). The annual curbside collection contract cost and purchase of the yellow bags have always been covered in the Environmental Services annual budget. As such, the Department has always viewed the revenue from the sale of yellow bags simply as an amount collected that may offset the general waste budget or perhaps be put into reserves. Simply put…the Department has not viewed or assumed that the revenue from the sale of yellow bags is a direct amount that is to specifically cover the annual contract cost as well as the purchase of the yellow bags. The Collection Contractor has to travel the specific route each Monday – Thursday whether there are yellow bags 86 placed at curb or not, and following brief correspondence with the Contractor, it would seem they are willing to collect a maximum of two (2) bags per household / stop (3,128 weekly stops in the Contract) with no alteration to the Contract other than amending the wording. Quite simply…the service of curbside collection has always been covered up-front through the Department annual budget preparation ($119,470.83 per year for a period of five (5) years)…as is the purchase of yellow bags ($10,000 + / -). From the Departments perspective…the general tax levy imposed on a property has already contributed to covering the annual collection cost and yellow bag supply. One can argue otherwise as it is somewhat open to interpretation. The above reasoning is likely not the methodology or approach that was intended when the program was instituted. Therefore, it seems rational that yellow bag revenue is a result of a charge / fee paid by a household for the service of curbside collection specific to the waste generated by that household (pay for what they generate). And with that, it would also seem reasonable that the revenue generated through the sale of yellow bags should be allocated to indeed cover the cost of the collection contract and the up-front purchase of bags for distribution. This being contrary to the above view from the Department. Consideration: If the Township doesn’t wish to lose the revenue source and also maintain the foundation of the yellow bag program then perhaps it should be left alone. If considering otherwise, then the Township must dismiss this revenue source or replace it. Requested Analysis (from March 2nd, 2016): The alternative brought forth at the March 2nd, 2016 for Committee’s consideration was imposing a maximum two (2) bags per week per household / stop. There are 3,128 stops in the Contract. Therefore spread the cost of annual collection contract and purchase of bags over 3,128 households if the Township wishes to replace this revenue source. This equates to $41.39 per household. There is no doubt that if a system of two (2) bags per household per week (any colour, purchased anywhere) is instituted…there will be heavier utilization of curb-side collection. In this case, the Township may wish to “buffer” the set rate of $41.39 per household per year. Perhaps by 25% ($51.73 per household per year). Seasonal households / stops would pay 25% of the annual set rate ($12.93 per seasonal household per year). To determine the household count for the purposes of Collection Contract each year, the practice has been to consider four (4) seasonal households as one (1). 87 This new annual rate / levy would then substitute the once collected annual revenue of yellow bag sales. A reasonable time-frame to bring such a program change into place would be at minimum six (6) months. This would offer time to get the message out to the public, coordinate and cover all the administrative implications. NEXT STEPS: Discussion… POLICY ISSUES: N/A Steven Hodson, Environmental Services Manager Township of Whitewater Region Attachments: Additional Revenue Analysis, 2013 & 2014 88 Revenue Analysis – 2013 & 2014 Historical For Council’s consideration and understanding of typical revenue streams collected at the Ross Waste Site as well as the sale of yellow bags, the following 2013 & 2014 revenue breakdown is offered as an example: 2013 Yellow Bag Revenue from Curbside Collection = $119,386 (residential waste) Tipping Fee Revenue = $251,915 (total) - $55,000 (contaminated soil) = $196,915 Of the $196,915 total for 2013… $85,515 represents Commercial waste. $111,400 represents Residential waste (those who choose to use the Waste Site and pay as such). Remember, this amount represents those who bring one – two bags per week (Wednesday or Saturday) as well as all other bulk loads of household materials. On average 55% of the transactions at the Waste Site represents $6.00 or less (one or two bags). 2014 Yellow Bag Revenue from Curbside Collection = $124,210 (residential waste) Tipping Fee Revenue = $192,288 Of the $192,288 total for 2014… $70,000 represents Commercial waste. $122,288 represents Residential waste (those who choose to use the Waste Site and pay as such). Remember, this amount represents those who bring one – two bags per week (Wednesday or Saturday) as well as all other bulk loads of household materials. On average 55% of the transactions at the Waste Site represents $6.00 or less (one or two bags). There will always be those who will choose to utilize the Landfill Site and will not take advantage of curb-side collection. As stated, roughly 55% of all landfill site transactions represents those bringing no more than one or two bags to the Site (choosing not to purchase yellow bags). The other 45% of residential waste revenue generated at the Ross Site represents those transactions / users bringing bulk material loads (may or may not include bags). If an alternative to the yellow bag system is indeed instituted, the Department feels that there will without-adoubt be heavier usage of curbside collection. Many of the landfill site users will go to curbside collection. 89 WHITEWATER REGION DEPARTMENTAL REPORT DEPARTMENT: CAO March 23, 2016 Staff Performance Appraisals: I am currently working on completing staff Performance Appraisals for 2015. Bruce Beakley from Renfrew County gave staff a presentation about "Goals & Objectives" and Performance Appraisals, on October 23, 2015 so that we'd all have a better understanding of this process and to make it as meaningful as possibleGoals being "where we want to be", objectives being "the steps needed to get there". After receiving staff input during Mr- Beakley's presentation, Whitewater Region non-union staff Performance Appraisals are now based on the County of Renfrew model, and include separate Corporate, Departmental and Individual competencies. I have identified 3 Corporate Competencies that apply to all nonunion staff for this process out of a list of 22. The entire list is applicable to the corporation, but for the Performance Appraisal process, I need to narrow the field down to 3 core Corporate Competencies: . Client Service Orientation .

INITIALLED BY MUNICIPALITY: 21 Eligible Generators 133 K© ^ 9 w ft. March 8, 2016 To Council: have worked in the Public Works Department for 17 years, am a good employee with no blemishes on my record and have always tried to do my job to the best of my ability. During these years I have had the privilege of parking my personal vehicle in the garage during snow and freezing rain storms while I am out keeping the roads safe. As a reward for my service this privilege has recently been taken away. My hope is that just parking on municipal property doesn't become a liability or will have to park my vehicle on the side of the road. As a long time dedicated employee, I find this very disheartening and ask that you please reconsider your decision.

Sincerely/ Ray Orb Chair or FCM's iUiral Forum 2 136 A THRIVING RURAL CANADA RISING TO THE MOMENT IN FEDERAL BUDGET 2016 On February 18, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) released Cities and Communities: Rising to the Moment, our recommendations for the 2016 federal budget. This is a bold plan to build Canada’s future by investing in our communities from coast to coast to coast. The upcoming federal budget has the potential to be transformative for rural Canada. Canadian voters have endorsed a sweeping communities-first agenda, and municipalities are ready to partner with the federal government to deliver results. Our proposals move quickly to create local jobs and growth based on local priorities. In doing so, we’ll also be building a strong foundation for long-term prosperity and more livable communities in every region of this country. To reach its nation-building potential, new federal investments must benefit communities of all sizes—delivering results for all Canadians. Through FCM, rural communities have come together to give voice to their priorities, diverse and shared. A thriving Canada needs a thriving rural Canada. This document highlights key recommendations from Rising to the Moment to strengthen Canada, community by community. 137 INVESTING IN RURAL COMMUNITIES Rural communities are essential to Canada’s economic, social and environmental health—generating 30 per cent of GDP in sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, transport and tourism. But smaller communities also face formidable challenges providing the public infrastructure that sustains these local economies and vibrant ways of life. Rural communities need dedicated, predictable funding to improve roads, bridges, water systems, recreation facilities and other public amenities. At the same time, as federal social housing operating agreements expire, we must confront the housing affordability crisis that confronts rural and small communities across Canada. With a willing federal partner, local governments are ready to go with projects that respond to local needs and realities. This is an opportunity to create jobs in a period of slow growth, boost productivity, and build livable communities that can retain and attract the talent rural Canada needs. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: Double federal investment in the Small Communities Fund, building on this proven New Building Canada Fund (NBCF) mechanism to support locallyprioritized rural infrastructure projects. Optimize the Small Communities Fund for rural Canada by empowering provinces and territories to lower the 100,000 population threshold to better reflect the size of communities in their jurisdictions, as determined in consultation with their municipal associations. Invest in recreation and cultural facilities that can be vital community hubs in rural areas—through a new merit-based program within the proposed Social Infrastructure Fund and by expanding NBCF eligibility to include such projects. Support rural affordable housing solutions, starting by protecting federal social housing investments and accelerating investments in the capital repair and renewal of affordable housing. Accelerate wastewater upgrades by ensuring that eligibility for new Green Infrastructure Fund investments includes upgrades to wastewater treatment facilities and defective septic systems in rural areas not served by municipal facilities. 138 FLEXIBILITY FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES With access to just 8-10 cents of each tax dollar, local governments shoulder nearly 60 per cent of Canada’s public infrastructure. They also face increasingly complex additional responsibilities— from public safety management to climate change adaptation and a growing array of community services. All of this fuels a fiscal squeeze that can reach extremes in rural communities with lower ratepayer densities, often compounded by youth out-migration. The good news is that these municipalities have an exceptional track-record of assessing local priorities and delivering effective solutions. That’s why predictable investment tools like the Gas Tax Fund have worked so well: they empower local governments to do what they do best. What these municipalities don’t have is flexibility to deal with financial and administrative bottlenecks. To get projects moving, they need new flexibility from our federal partner—flexibility that recognizes rural expertise and rural challenges. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: Make green infrastructure investment work for rural Canada by ensuring project eligibility includes rural priorities—such as stormwater management (including culvert replacement); drinking water, wastewater and septic system upgrades; and extreme weather adaptations. Increase the federal contribution to at least 50 per cent of total project costs—for all existing cost-shared infrastructure programs—recognizing local governments’ limited fiscal capacity. Eliminate fund stacking restrictions that punish smaller communities, empowering local governments to get more infrastructure projects moving faster by pooling multiple sources of federal funding. Adopt predictable funding mechanisms to deliver new investments in green, social and transit infrastructure (modelled on the Gas Tax Fund), recognizing local governments’ expertise in assessing local priorities and solutions. Transfer uncommitted funds in existing application-based federal infrastructure programs directly to municipalities through temporary top-ups of the federal Gas Tax Fund. 139 OUR RURAL VOICE IN NATION-BUILDING Local governments foster economic growth, create livable communities and help keep us safe from crime and natural emergencies. In so many diverse ways, municipalities are guardians of everyday economic and social life in this country. Rural municipalities, in particular, serve millions of Canadians living and working in vast expanses of territory from coast to coast to coast. They face unique dimensions of national challenges, like the deepening housing crisis. And they are at high risk from emerging threats, including local consequences of increasing climate change. At this moment when the federal government has committed to community-building as nation-building, rural municipalities must be full partners in plotting the path forward. It will take continuous dialogue to build Canada’s future—with durable growth and more livable communities. Through FCM, rural Canada will continue to have a full seat at the table. While this dialogue must be expansive and long-term, we have also highlighted indispensable points of federal engagement with rural communities for the coming year. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: Incorporate the perspectives and needs of rural municipalities in developing a national housing strategy that includes a long-term and predictable funding plan, with the goal of ensuring housing that is affordable in communities of all sizes. Work with FCM on effective strategies to expand broadband access, aiming to close the economically damaging urban-rural gap, alongside the CRTC’s review of basic telecommunications services for all Canadians. Ensure a truly national and functional Public Safety Broadband Network by consulting rural communities in its design, governance and implementation. Engage local governments on expanding national disaster mitigation strategies to cover the full spectrum of disaster risks, including drought, forest fires and emerging consequences of climate change. Launch a review of changes to the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements to prevent an unfair burden from being placed on municipal resources during the recovery from disasters. © Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

I say "for" Little Lakes, as to his knowledge our students cannot build something off site but we could have the timber frame pavilion shipped to the location and then put up by someone. Costs would be only the cost of the materials, the shipment on a flatbed (township truck?) and putting up the structure (township?) They commence this project in 5 weeks, so you have sometime to ponder on this. I think it's a great idea, as there is currently no shade available at Little Lakes, so even a small 12'xl2' open concept building would added value to the area. Regards, Cameron.

We would also like to request that Whitewater Council nominate an individual from the public who would be willing to sit on the Board of Directors for the Muskrat Watershed Council and serve in an information and liaison role with the Township. The goal of the Muskrat Watershed Council is to improve water quality in MuskratLake andtheMuskrat Watershed. Our mission is to engage with people and communities on efforts to identify and reduce nutrient loading from all sources on the Muskrat Watershed. We seek to understand how past decisions and current practices continue to impact our watershed, and in particular, water quality in Muskrat Lake, not as an effort to lay blame, but to help us find reasonable, achievable and affordable solutions that will contribute to a better future. We cannot do this alone. We seek partnerships with municipal, provincial and federal levels, with industry, educational institutions and the science community and other communities. Most importantly, we value with our municipal partners such as the Township of Whitewater Region to seek winwin solutions. We appreciate the support that Whitewater Council has provided in the past and would like to continue this partnership into the future. It is therefore troubling to learn from the local media that one or more of your Council members have "issues" with the Muskrat Watershed Council. The Muskrat Watershed Council is comprised of dozens of volunteers who put in countless hours of work toward achieving tangible solutions for improving water quality. Much of this good work goes unreportedtothe local Municipal Councils and the media. In order to improve communications between the Township of Whitewater Region and the Muskrat Watershed Council, we request that Township Council nominate an individual to sit on our Board of Directors so that we can better represent the interests of all residents in the Muskrat Watershed. This appointment would strengthen our relationship by keeping the Township of Whitewater Region informed on the activities of our organization and help us to partner on funding applications that have a benefit to the community. It is harmful to our watershed council to have people issue comments, which imply that perhaps there is something amiss with our organization. This makes it more difficult as it is to get people and the community involved. If anyone has issues with something involving the Muskrat Watershed Council, it is best to come to us for the answers, not to mention them to the press. Please feel free to contact any one of us, at any time. We really do want to work together on these difficult issues.
